Pilot Rob Ramirez said he had just left his home base at North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines when he realized the plane was having problems. He said he didn't panic, but went over emergency procedures and looked for a place to land.

That place was a lake at the still-developing Aventura Isles subdivision.
